“D.C.-Based A Cappella Group Selected for International Festival”Washington, DC - April, 2016 - Local D.C.-based a cappella group Capital Blend has been selected to perform at the Sing! Toronto Vocal Arts Festival in May. The all-female a cappella group was one of only three US groups to be selected for this competitive international festival.

"Capital Blend is honored to be a part of such an international celebration of a cappella,” said Musical Director and Co-Founder Shana Jacobus. “We are especially excited to dust off our passports, make some new a cappella friends, hear new and innovative arrangements, and share our own voices!"

Capital Blend began in 2008 when a few co-workers realized they shared a love of singing, and has since grown to include singers from all walks of life. The group performs a variety of genres of music, including pop, country, R&B, rock, and popular oldies. Capital Blend's recording of the Beatles’ "Because" won a Contemporary A Cappella Recording Award (CARA) for Best Song, and their EP First Cup was nominated for Best Album.

"As a long-time member of Capital Blend I am excited for our first out-of-country a cappella festival,” added Jessica Maloney. “We have an unique set that is being tuned, choreographed, and practiced as we speak. O, CANADA, see you in May!"

Capital Blend is particularly excited to be performing alongside a cappella legends and seven-time gold and platinum record holders The Nylons, whose farewell concert tour will be hosted by Sing! Toronto. Click here for more performance information.
